-----------------------------------1. Events: first weekend of November- we applied for a temporary licence for Thur 5th Nov-Sun 8th Nov, although we applied for a 3am-licence its unlikely we'll get it but we should get the 1am licence- plans for that weekend so far:Thursday 5th – Cafe: Folk Night (Rantum Scantum and other bands) / Hall: Casino Night – rough plan: have Poker etc., it's allowed to have Casino Nights if no single person spends more than 10Pounds/night; we could have a cash pot, giving half to the top-3 and half to the Forest – lots of work needed!! Quick!Friday 6th – Cafe: Jiggery Fuckery (confirmed, DIY is organising) / Hall: White Heath organise a band night (hopefully!); Sound Engeneer neededSaturday 7th – Cafe: Plastastic Fork (Naughty Boys, Head, Atzi will play; Stephen is organising) / Hall: Chris Palmer will through a partySunday 8th – Nix's Reggae Night (?!)- AP Hannah: ask Martin to make poster/flyer

2. Next liquor licence training- is set for Monday, 26 October; Lynn and Alex will do it- it would be good to include some training on how to deal with difficult/drunk/aggressive customers or aggressive individuals within a group – maybe the Tranquility Team could do something about it – AP Maria: talk to Nat, maybe set something up

3. Kitchennew kitchen manager- Hannah will only stay KM at the Forest till the end of December: we need adverds looking for new KM as soon as possible; conduct interviews by mid of November; decide by end of November in order to be able to train the new KM in DecemberNightmanagers

- we need more nightmanagers, as there haven't been many new NM lately. It should be responsible and trustworthy volunteers- NM training should be arranged soon, should be done properly, the NM checklist should be updated- as all EVS are NMs now it stops others from signing up as NM – EVS could not sign up as NM anymore but just do their shifts as an “extra NM” - this might also be good when the NM has to close up/deal with difficult customers- AP Hannah: get 2 small address books: 1 for updated volunteer contact details, 1 for NM detailsHealth and Safety Improvements

to be done:- print/laminate signs about kitchen hygiene, tick list for NMs, a cleaning plan (daily checklist) and put it on kitchen wall – AP Hannah- we need to put signs on sinks- we need to get chef caps, some black aprons, multisurface antibacterial wipes/spray (check Green City Catalogue)- cloths (surfaces/food) aren't supposed to be mixed – get “colourcode”- get strings to dry tea towels- have the next “Volunteer Work Party” by the end of november: close the cafe on a sunday, get lots of little jobs in the kitchen and the building done, later dinner/party for volunteers- food that is not dated when it is delivered must be dated immediately – we should get some more tubs, e.g. for falafel balls- kitchen hygiene should be part of volunteer induction/guideother: there was the idea of having signs in the cafe that tell Forest “rules” but more aiming to show that we as a community must all work together in order not to be shut down – a group of people could write these signs, afterwards they should go through all Working Groups and therefore be agreed on by all of us
